"I had some extensive fire and smoke damage that resulted in the replacement of roof decking and shingles, HVAC ductwork, insulation and vinyl siding. As a former contractor, I like to handle everything myself but I agreed to have Atwood Restoration handle the entire project because of my work schedule. Atwood is a very professional company and they are always available for questions. They have very qualified managers and employees. I would highly recommend Atwood Restoration to anyone needing their services. "

"We noticed mold in our house and searched on Angi to find a solution. Mold Doctors Pros, LLC is the company we chose. The owner inspected our home and provided us with a quote to clean it up. We signed a contract for the service. Their truck came and we left the house. 45 minutes later, they demanded $750 more or they would have to replace our insulation for an additional $ 1,800-3,000. If we refused, then the contract stipulated that we had to pay $3000 for the team to stop in the middle of the service. We accepted the demand for the additional $750 with the waiver of the estimation fee. We knew we were being scamed at that point because there is a free estimation cost to the inspection. It is stated on the front of his business card. After the service was finished, we call and asked for a refund of the extra amount. The owner agreed if we signed a complicated "Hold Harmless" agreement. We refused, and that was it. The mold is still present in our house, so we doubt his team did anything, or if they did, then they did a poor job."

FAQs for dry rot, water or pest damage major repair projects in Hattiesburg, MS

Look for wood that appears darker than the surrounding materials, feels spongy when pressed, or crumbles easily when touched. Dry rot often creates a distinctive cube-like cracking pattern and may have a musty, fungal odor. In advanced cases, you might notice white or gray fungal growth resembling cotton or mushroom-like structures. 

Regular inspections of basements, crawlspaces, and areas around plumbing fixtures help catch problems early before they cause significant structural damage.

Most standard homeowners' policies exclude dry rot repair coverage because insurers classify it as preventable maintenance rather than sudden, accidental damage. Your policy often covers water damage from specific incidents like burst pipes, but the resulting dry rot remediation often falls outside coverage parameters. Some policies offer limited coverage if the rot directly results from a covered peril, but this varies by insurer. 

Always review your specific policy details and consult with your insurance representative about your particular situation.

The timeline varies considerably based on damage extent and location. Minor repairs to window frames or trim might take only one to two days from start to finish. More substantial structural repairs involving floor joists, support beams, or foundation elements require one to two weeks or longer. 

The process includes assessment, demolition, treatment, reconstruction, and finishing work. Weather conditions, material availability, and the need for specialized contractors all influence the overall timeline for project completion.

Yes, untreated dry rot will continue to spread throughout wooden structures in your home. The fungus can extend through wood and even across some masonry surfaces via fungal strands called mycelium. Under favorable conditions (moisture and moderate temperatures), dry rot can advance rapidly, compromising structural integrity across multiple areas. 

The fungus produces airborne spores that establish new colonies wherever they find suitable conditions, making prompt treatment essential to prevent widespread damage and much costlier repairs.
